The Amber Cove Cruise Centre is the gateway to the rest of the region, but it’s also a destination in its own right. Similar to a day resort, the cruise center has shops, restaurants, and an Aqua Zone with a pool, sun loungers, waterslides, beach bars, overwater cabanas available for rent for the day, and even a zip line. Multiple shore excursions are available in Amber Cove, including canyoning, swimming with dolphins, and sailing, all of which depart from the cruise center.
